Boulenc

For a Parisian inspired brunch of pastries, breads, and coffee, rustic looking Boulenc is top of the list. This petite cafe cum bakery is perfectly located near the Oaxaca zocalo, meaning you can easily drop by on your way out for the day. If the flaky pan au chocolate or seasonal orange flavored pan de muertos don’t take your fancy, they also offer simple and fresh breakfast foods, such as waffles and egg options, as well as sandwiches which can be served on their excellent freshly baked sourdough.

You can tell by the line of people waiting outside Boulenc that something good is happening inside. This bakery and café specializes in croissants and pain au chocolat, and also makes Mexican staples like conchas and pan de muerto in the weeks leading up to Día de los Muertos. It’s located in a pleasant courtyard, a beautiful setting for enjoying shakshuka, stacks of pancakes with homemade jams, and pastries from next door.

A project that started in 2013 by Mexican youths with the intention of offering a humble and comfortable food with high quality ingredients. Freshly baked goods are offered all day long inside this boutique hotel in the city center. But their menu does not stop at bread, here you find a delicious coffee and breakfast.

Somewhere in the middle, you'll find Boulenc bakery, which uses ancient grains in European baking methods to make gorgeous breads and pastries. It's been a hub for travelers, expats, and local foodies for a while, and hasn't lost its appeal (and if you stick around, they open their bar in the afternoon and evenings).

First up on our list is Boulenc, a European-style bakery and restaurant in Centro notorious for turning first-time visitors into repeat customers. We’d be shocked if you managed to visit Oaxaca and not get to this recommended spot at least once. Their fresh-baked sourdough bread and drool-worthy pastries are definitely a lure, but it’s Boulenc’s menu of French, Italian, and international favorites like deli-style reuben sandwiches on rye, wood-oven pizzas with floury sourdough crusts, egg sandwiches on homemade english muffins, spicy poached egg shakshuka, and perfectly cheesy croque-monsieurs that truly explain the line of eager diners spilling onto Calle Porfirio Diaz at all hours of the day.

Boulenc has long been a beloved destination in Oaxaca for artisanal bread and pastries, but its vegan and vegetarian options have certainly expanded over the last few years earning it a following among plant-based food lovers. Known for its relaxed, bohemian atmosphere, this bakery and café offers a veggie-focused menu that feels both indulgent and wholesome. Think avocado toast elevated with house-made sourdough – just order without garlic butter-, or hearty salads bursting with fresh, locally sourced produce.

Están ubicados en el Centro Histórico, en una casa colonial abandonada que conserva la estructura arquitectónica, lo que le da un ambiente muy retro. Se ubica en la calle Porfirio Díaz número 207, a unas cuadras del Andador Turístico. Fieles a su concepto de panadería artesanal, pues es un proyecto de cuatro jóvenes que querían mostrar Oaxaca al mundo por medio de la panadería, logran lo mismo con la pizza, ofrecer un producto sustentable, alimentos lo más original y natural posible.

Kiyo is located right opposite another Oaxaca favourite, Boulenc, which is a well-known bakery and breakfast place. When I was in Oaxaca with Michal three years prior, we desperately tried to get a table there on three mornings and only succeeded once. In fact, before sitting down at Kiyo on my third visit, I had just devoured a freshly baked chocolate and almond croissant from across the road and I was still licking my fingers when I sat down for my afternoon coffee.

This airy cafe serves a wide range of dishes with a strong emphasis on their to-die-for in-house baked breads. Their avocado toast is quite possibly the most divine of all avocado toasts I’ve ever eaten — and trust me, I’ve sampled many an avo smash in my life, from the shores of Sydney, Australia to Bali, to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. This one is exceptional and worth straying from Mexican cuisine for one meal (we came back for seconds).

Whether you choose to dine on a full Oaxacan breakfast of molletes—open-faced sandwiches smothered in beans and cheese—in Boulenc’s airy courtyard or grab a few pastries from its massive takeaway operation next store, you won’t be disappointed. Its breads, pastries, and cookies are top-notch and a must while in Oaxaca. Address: C. Porfirio Díaz 207, RUTA INDEPENDENCIA, Centro, 68000 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax., Mexico

I mentioned that I’d go to Pan Con Madre almost every day after my run. Most bread makes my stomach cramp and sends me running to the toilet, but I can usually manage sourdough bread – which was fortuitous because most of Pan Con Madre’s bread was made with ‘masa madre’ – the Mexican name for sourdough. Pan Con Madre is a ridiculously cute little bakery with some of the best bread I’ve had anywhere in the world.

Boulenc is renowned for its artisanal bakery and café offerings, serving a range of sourdough bread, pastries, and healthful meals that highlight organic, local produce. As one of the most beloved Oaxaca restaurants for breakfast and lunch, it provides a cozy and rustic atmosphere.

One of the best meals of my time in Oaxaca, Boulenc is not to be missed for their incredible baked goods and breakfast dishes. You’ll find it’s nearly always packed, especially for the brunch crowd. The menu offers both traditional and international options (I ordered the shakshuka!), but you’d be remiss if you didn’t order a sample of baked goods like the chocolate croissants or muffins.

A Oaxaca institution, Boulenc is where the whole town comes to get their daily bread. Maven loves the rye bread with pumpkin seeds – we eat it toasted with coconut oil, sea salt and lashings of homemade mango jam spread. The restaurant serves the best breakfasts in town (the almond croissants are better than France) and the wood fired oven fires out pizzas as fast as they can top them.

Boulenc is by far the most popular of the “non-Mexican” breakfast options and the line out the door should tell you as much. Come here to get your carb fix whether through their great sourdough bread (the avocado toast is famous) or any of their pastries. Their croissants are divine, the coffee is decent and the vibe of the hip cafe makes for a winning brunch destination.

Boulenc’s menu is a reflection of the fusion of the bakery and the canning and fermenting workshop, with local products. Among the most requested is the bread with avocado and poached egg and the shakshuka with sourdough bread and Lebanese cheese, but they also have a variety of sandwiches and morning classics such as hotcakes and molletes. Their bar is also a must.

A must visit for breakfast or brunch, we recommend going in the morning when the city is waking up and Boulenc has its morning energy. It’s more trendy and casual than Tierra Del Sol, and has a bit more breakfast variety (from eggs to shakshuka to pizza to pancakes, it has it all). It fills up fast and will likely be a wait without reservations, but its worth it!

Breakfast, brunch or dinner – your Oaxacan adventure in the city isn’t complete without a trip to Boulenc. With a bakery that beckons many from across the country, expect some of the best bread, pastries, and pizza that Oaxaca has to offer. The rustic chic vibe is an added bonus and makes the evening even more magical, beside the unreal Oaxacan ingredients.

BOULENC – This artisanal bakery, specializing in sourdough, is probably the least traditional entry on this list, but crowds love the large selection of international dine-in options, as well as the takeaway baked goods at the bakery.
